Tena koe Friend,
Thank you for being part of the wonderful people around the world who are standing up to policy makers and corporations making this planet uninhabitable. Together we are making a difference.
Baring Head (at the bottom of the North Island) CO2 Measures are fluctuating from 414.5 ppm (parts per million). A long way off what we need: 350 ppm for a liveable climate (https://niwa.co.nz/climate/research-projects/carbonwatchnz/dailyco2measurements)
Under current Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), the world is headed for 2.8 degrees of global heating by the end of the century.
